The plant-based version of a breaded cut of chicken not only takes on the appearance, flavour, and structure of real chicken breast but also possesses a naturally dense nutritional profile that could outpace that of real chicken. This could solve one of the greatest hurdles of the alt-protein movement.<\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Catering to the growing field of \u201cmeatless meat\u201d, the novel cut is composed of 80% pure, fresh, minimally processed spirulina, to which is added prebiotic fibres. The new adaptation offers health and environmentally conscious consumers a highly nutritious, clean-label, alternative to chicken and brings a new point of versatility to the way the highly concentrated nutrition of microalgae can be consumed. It will also be instrumental in edging the industry closer to satisfying the palate\u2019s craving for a meaty \u201cumami\u201d experience and heightening the enjoyment of plant-based alternatives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-buttonrow-wrap avia-buttonrow-left   avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.simpliigood.com' class='avia-button  avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-color-theme-color avia-size-small ' target=\"_blank\" style='margin-bottom:5px; margin-right:5px; ' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue8ad' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Visit the supplier website<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Beyond the boundary of the capsule matrix<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cWe started out as cultivators of fresh spirulina,\u201d explained Lior Shalev, CEO and co-founder of SimpliiGood. \u201cBut then we began to think of ways we can take the formulation of this highly sought ingredient beyond the boundary of the capsule matrix and into the mainstream of the plant-based food landscape. Spirulina is a high-value and eco-friendly alternative protein source. That\u2019s how we evolved into spirulina innovators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spirulina is heralded as a powerhouse of plant-based goodness due to its rich composition of whole protein and its impressive profile of vitamins and minerals. It is a particularly good source of iron, calcium, B vitamins, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, making it a highly desirable supplement choice for a broad population of consumers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  style='height:50px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><a href='website_supplier' class='avia_image' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/SimpliiGood-2-.jpg' alt='' title='SimpliiGood 2'  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  style='height:50px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Flash-frozen spirulina<\/h4>\n<p>SimpliiGood prides itself as the first start-up to cultivate and formulate with 100% pure, raw, fresh spirulina that is flash-frozen as opposed to the dried, powdered form currently dominating the market. The company asserts that in this form the renowned blue-green algae is delivered with the highest, and most highly bioavailable, nutrient content. It has no off-flavours or aromas, opening it to a world of new, better-for-you food and beverage innovation.<\/p>\n<h3>Pioneering colourless spirulina<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cLeveraging the unique properties of fresh spirulina on our proprietary texturizing platform addresses the problematic sensory challenges while enhancing its potency and functionality,\u201d explained Shalev. \u201cThis broadens its applications beyond the exceptional nutritional profile and high concentration of protein to being a clean-label potential to replace thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, binders, and texturizers in multiple applications. Plus, our naturally colour-free version is an excellent replacer for synthetic colorants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The start-up\u2019s game-changing technology for mimicking whole-muscle animal protein uses spirulina as the main component, transforming it into a satisfying whole-cut clean of toxins, pesticides, hormones, heavy metals and environmental pollutants.<\/p>\n<h4>Spirulina matrix that can absorb flavours<\/h4>\n<p>Baruch Dach, SimpliiGood\u2019s founder and CTO explained that its creation has been a work in progress. \u201cStarting from a minced prototype to achieving the next level of complexity of recreating whole a chicken breast fillet in both succulent texture and appearance,\u201d said Dach. \u201cIt possesses a completely neutral taste, giving the formulator a \u2018blank canvas\u2019 to add whatever flavours desired. One can also use it as the basis for a hybrid product, infusing a minimal dose of real chicken into the spirulina matrix,<br \/>\nto give a more authentic chicken experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond attaining the desired sensorial properties, one of the greatest hurdles in producing plant-based alternatives is incorporating sufficient protein and nutrients to bring them nutritionally on par with animal-based proteins. The SimpliiGood chicken breast analog offers a nutritionally dense bite that even surpasses that of real chicken owing to the inherently nutritious profile of fresh spirulina. \u201c100 grammes of SimpliGood spirulina microalgae provides the equivalent of 200 grammes of real chicken in protein load,\u201d explained Dach. \u201cEach cut packs in 30% highly bioavailable protein. Combined with its rich natural makeup of micronutrients, it offers a potent alternative to animal protein with exceptional nutritional value. By consuming less while gaining more, it also contributes to reducing waste and energy consumption, streamlining the supply chain, and minimizing the overall downstream carbon footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Scale up<\/h4>\n<p>The debut of SimpliGood\u2019s chicken breast analog follows the successful introduction of its vegan 95% spirulina based smoked salmon replica last year. The company projects that product will be rolled out commercially in the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>SimpliiGood is a vertically integrated company that cultivates its spirulina in greenhoused ponds within the sun-drenched southern desert region of Israel. It is currently ramping up its capacity to produce 250 tonnes of spirulina per year, with a harvest every 24 hours, making it a highly commercially viable plant-based protein source.<\/p>\n<p>SimpliiGood recently joined forces with international plant nutrition giants, Haifa Group in a move to bolster its supply chain, leveraging their ready-to-use nutrient mixtures for wider commercial production. This move will help ensure security and price stability for the reliable consistent supply of its raw material and boost time-to-market of its microalgae innovations.<br \/>\nFor more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simpliigood.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.simpliigood.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Digital issue: Please click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simpliigood.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> for more information<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-buttonrow-wrap avia-buttonrow-left   avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_social_share '>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.simpliigood.com' class='avia-button  avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-color-theme-color avia-size-small ' target=\"_blank\" style='margin-bottom:5px;
